Barcelona, even when tired, always play at an excellent level from any perspective. It will be different from the home game. We'll try to do similar things, but we're also aware that it's been 23 and a half years since we last won there. That's a long time. Some of the guys haven't seen it. We're going to play against the best team in La Liga and one of the best in Europe.
Despite dragging themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Super Lig status, it is no secret that Erling Moe's men are pencilled in as a standout relegation candidate in 2026. In fact, the former Molde boss has seen his downbeat squad register just a single victory from any of their previous 11 consecutive appearances across all competitions - a rut that stems all the way back to November 29th.
And now, three games in, Tudor has suffered three defeats. First it was 4-1 to Arsenal. Then 2-1 to Fulham. And most recently, 3-1 to Crystal Palace as their dismal home record continued. Spurs are just one point above the relegation zone with nine games left.

Guessand all but batted away Palace's relegation concerns on Sunday, helping them climb 10 points clear of the drop zone with an instinctive 90th-minute winner from the bench against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Four days later, he inspired Palace to the last 16 of the Uefa Conference League after an awkward play-off tie against Zrinjski Mostar.
